Day 65 - Walk in the Rain?

Yesterday was weigh-in and again I was disappointed - oh well.  But T& I got a lovely walk.

I decided to do the beach yesterday, it was overcast  and I was guessing not a whole lot of people would be there.  But before we left I took a bunch of Glucosamine and two Tylenol.  Always prepared.  So off we go.  It was nice, cool, but not cold a perfect day for a walk.  The first we encountered was a couple taking pictures of each other.  She would pose, then he would pose as I came closer, they both turned to look at me.  I saw a fleeting look of hope then they looked down to see why my arm was extended straight out.  Yup/nope they weren't going to ask me to take their picture - I could see the disappointment in their eyes as a trundled by.

Next came a couple romping barefoot in the ocean.  They were laughing and splashing, and even T thought they were a bit off.  There was a name spelled in the sand - STELLA  - and I wondered if she was named after one of Vachss character?  We left them playing in the surf - hopefully they wouldn't be too uncomfortable on the way home stupid fools.

Then came the horses pounding up the beach towards us.  T doesn't quite know what to make of horses, but she thinks if they run she should run.  All I see in horses is T getting kicked in the head.  So I drag her kicking and screaming away from those running horses and she calms down, 5 minutes later they come up behind us.  This time it is up to them to stay away - and they do.  They passed us four more times.  Geez isn't there another beach they can ride at?

Then we come across five people - another group of picture takers - but this time they have a young child in their arms.  They too are romping and smiling and laughing, but as soon as they see us they gather up their things and walk to their car.  We must look menacing.  Stupid tourist.

We encounter two runners and three people walking their dogs.  All in all not many people on this glorious beach, no surfers no fisherman, no clammers or beach combers.  I suppose the pouring rain might have had something to do with that - you think?
